GPaste GUI

Simple and handy GUI for managing clipboard history of GPaste daemon.

Usage

For example just set up a hook for hot key to call gpaste-gui.pl (select mode by default) and select chunks you need from your clipboard history by this hot key. You also might like to set up another hook for gpaste-gui.pl --mode=choose to do another actions such as masking a password with a given name, or you even might want to call it directly by gpaste-gui.pl --mode=mask-last-password (run gpaste-gui.pl --help for details).

A good hint! In any window where you see a list of elements (such as list of clipboard history or list of actions to do) just type few symbols that you se in the item you want to jump at to fatsly reach it without touching the mouse. Use arrow keys to walk between all the elements that match a search query.

Make sure you have gpaste-gui.pl in your PATH environment variable. You could create symbolic link referencing to it in ~/.local/bin or in /usr/local/bin.

For other details run gpaste-gui.pl -? or look at the bottom of this file where that help info is described.
